Tokyo Electron (TEL) is Japan's largest semiconductor equipment maker and the world's third-largest by revenue. The company supplies the etch, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and coater/developer systems that are essential to every advanced fab. TEL holds approximately 30% of the global etch and deposition market. Its equipment is present in virtually every major foundry and memory fab worldwide, including TSMC, Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. US-Japan export control coordination has made TEL a key actor in restricting China's access to advanced manufacturing tools, and the company has curtailed shipments of its most advanced systems to Chinese customers since late 2023.
